it's got the outside vents but not the middle ones?

Strato-ventilation? or some kind of ventilation system? I know later cars ('71+ up) had a venting system that used A/C dashes but didn't actually have A/C.

AMC used to do the same thing in the Hornet & Gremlin where they'd include the center A/C vents, but the car would not have A/C. I would imagine every manufacturer had a similar system.

Someone must have changed out the center dash plastic to a non a/c type. Definitely not correct for an a/c car. No strato vent offered on 70 B body.

I had thought that was only 71+ as well. I'll turn it over and have a look!

Definitely weird for a 68-70 dash; those side vents were only for AC, which also had the center vent.
Either someone's "been there" and swapped parts around, or that was a big screw-up.
FWIW, I once owned an original '70 Satellite - untouched original car - that had a Coronet-nameplate trim panel on its dash.
